Thanks guys, I got it all figured out and it boots up and runs fine, I could
have installed Red Hat with a full installation like I did last time, but I
chose to install bare bones, you see linuxconf and netcfg are great tools
but they do all the work for you and I always want to know what the GUI
programs are really doing that is why I did it manually, and now I know, but
it took a little thinking on my part and a lot of help from you guys, which
I really appreciate BTW.
Thanks
Dave

Another problem is noting that you have eht1 in one file, and eth0 in the
other. Assuming you have only one NIC, you should only be referening eth0.
